Happy Health Hearts
One in 2 people will experience in their lifetime heart and blood vessel disease. This includes heart attacks, strokes and peripheral artery disease.
It is the number one killer of women
What can you do to prevent it or control it if you already have it?
Risk Factor associated with the disease:
Sex (men usually start earlier than women)
Family history
Age
Race
Modifiable risk factors
Smoking
Cholesterol
Weight
Hypertension
Diabetes
Obesity (especially if you carry the weight in your belly)
Nutrition and exercise can impact most of the modifiable risk factors
Signs and symptoms of a heart attack
Chest discomfort radiating up from the abdomen to the jaw or maybe down one or both arms associated with nausea, sweating, shortness of breath and weakness. If you or anyone you know has these symptoms and they last longer than 15 minutes please call 911.
Congestive Heart Failure is another disease of the heart that can be life threatening. This can start slowly with increase swelling in the legs and weight gain over a period of time or it can come on very suddenly and the fluid can go into the lungs because the heart is weakened and not pumping correctly. Sudden onset of shortness of breath at rest is another 911 call. Keep the person calm and they usually breathe better if they can be at least partially upright.
Making changes that last
Pick 5 things that you are willing to change that you think will improve your health.
1)________________________________________________________
2)________________________________________________________
3)________________________________________________________
4)________________________________________________________
5)________________________________________________________
Select the one that you think will be easiest for you to do and make that change for 30 days. Then work on the next one until you have made the 5 changes. By the time you get to the last one you will know and have the confidence that you can be successful at making changes.
Walk every day
Drink more water
Exercise 2-3 x a week
Go to bed earlier
Pray and spend time with The Lord.
Those are great habits. I hope you are doing well.
